• Quote of the Week, courtesy ofOzzie Guillen: "Who gives a shit who's in town? How about, 'the White Sox are back in Chicago after a long trip.' Even my wife told me Minnesota is coming to town. I said, 'Good, you dating somebody from there? Who cares.'"

• I'm a little surprised the Twins didn't become free agents and shop their radio rights around to various stations, but their decision to sign a two-year extension with 1500-ESPN strikes me as a good thing. Phil Mackey and Tom Pelissero have done a very nice job covering the team as beat writers on 1500ESPN.com and while a move back to WCCO may have been an option KFAN's general lack of interest in baseball seemingly would have made them a poor fit.

• Surely this will get the "Joe Mauer or Mark Prior?" debate stirring again.

• Not even cancer and the resulting hair loss can keep Maura Tierneyfrom looking good.

The note on Hawkins got me on former Twins, and reminded me that T. Hunter is now 9 for 20 in stolen base attempts. I wonder how many guys have tried to steal at least 20 bases in a season with less than a 50% success rate? At least he’s moved to right field with a good attitude.

The best joke on the “Drunk Men” clip is the music.

Those are almost all blocked at work. I should know better than to try to read on Friday from work….

The Wikipedia entry is hilarious! Thanks for making me laugh.

That Mad Men clip is missing one of Roger’s best, probably because it was from 2 weeks ago:

Roger, to visitor: Would you like a drink?

Visitor: It’s a little early, don’t you think?

Roger, walking over to bar, looks at watch: “Well, would you look at that?”

Roger sits down without getting a drink.

With rain expected tonight at Target Field that means wet field conditions. Do you expect Gardy to go with Repko in right and bring Kubes off the bench as a DH?

Marshall Garvey

That IS the greatest Wikipedia entry ever. Thank you sir.

Christine Hendricks was still hot as a geeky goth girl in High School.

I lived those early 90′s years. They weren’t that bad.

If you think the synopsis to “Regulate” is funny…read the synopsis to “Gin and Juice”
